Bitcoin Whitepaper Anniversary Sparks Global Debate: 17 Years of Influence

Marking the 17th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin whitepaper, a global discussion is unfolding about the cryptocurrency’s impact on resilience and policy. Bitcoin prices surged past $110,000 amidst this excitement, with market activity expected to be particularly volatile as $13.4 billion in options expire. 17 years after its release, the Bitcoin network remains operational, a point highlighted by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s observation that Bitcoin’s uptime is unparalleled and contrasts with recent governmental challenges.
